Well it wont be Counter Strike 3, Counter Strike: Global Offensive is due out early 2012. And roksoer if its TF3 or lfd 3, I will help you hunt him down. :grin:
I think that might have been fake too: Or this response is fake. I didn't really follow-up on it, so not sure if there was anything more to it. Never really trusted screen caps of emails anyway...
Oh no doubt...I love Portal 1 and 2. I'm just itching to finish the Half Life story. I want my cake and eat it too!
Where there's smoke, there's fire. I suspect this is another ploy to toy with the gamer world and to keep the hype machine rolling for an eventual announcement and release. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/14/report-half-life-3-to-appear-at-gamescom
More smoke??? http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/01/half-life-3-trademark-filed-by-valve Half-Life 3 Trademark Filed by Valve by Chris Pereira OCTOBER 1, 2013 Valve has filed for a trademark on Half-Life 3 in Europe, perhaps indicating the developer finally plans to move forward with the first-person shooter series it made its name on. The trademark was filed for on September 29 and lists Valve as its owner. It's a standard trademark filing, offering little more than the name, owner, and classification, which, as you'd expect, describes it as "video game software." Half-Life was last seen in 2007 in the form of Half-Life 2: Episode Two. It was one of three new games included in The Orange Box alongside Portal and Team Fortress 2. Since that time, Valve has been busy, developing or contributing to the release of Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, Alien Swarm, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Dota 2. There's also the matter of Steam, and the massive steps forward it's taken, seen most recently in the form of SteamOS, Steam Machine, and the Steam controller. Countless Half-Life rumors have surfaced over the past half decade, with little or no official word to be had from Valve, which had actually set out to reduce the time in between Half-Life releases by turning to an episodic format following Half-Life 2. Last year, there was talk of an open-world Half-Life game. More recently, internal documents from Valve suggested that Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3 might both be in the works. A trademark filing alone guarantees nothing, but after such a long drought, this does at least give Half-Life fans reason to feel optimistic.
Funny thing is, I had spent years and years playing first person shooters on the PC, and now, I have played so many on the 360 and PS3, I can barely play on the PC any more.. my muscle memory is all messed up. I used to be a killing machine on PC FPS's.. but now, I feel like someone trying to throw left-handed (while not being left handed duh). It'll be fun to have a really good fun new FPS on the computer again, I hope they get this out soon and that it's not merely a port of a console shooter.
It'll come back. I've been playing Bioshock for the first time (and first FPS in a long time) and it comes back quickly. I'm not saying I'll be able to rack up kills quickly on Counter-Strike but I'm better than I was before when my mouse would move diagonally when I tried to scan the horizon.
